The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 27:8

Isaiah 27:8He stayeth His rough wind in the day of the east windThe rough wind stayedHere we are taught two things: that God permits calamities to come upon man, but that He restrains them in moderation for some wise and merciful design.It would by no means be difficult to trace out historic parallels illustrative of this truth, both in the history of nations and the annals of the Church.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 27:7-8

7, 8. Him That is, Israel. The question, in form, calls for a negative answer. Not to the degree God has punished his enemies has he punished Israel.
